Driving itineraries we recommend from Lisbon

Hire a car and explore at your own pace.

Faro Algarve region – 1 day

Take a break from the sights of Lisbon and enjoy a day trip to the stunning beaches of Faro’s Algarve region. Just an hour’s drive away, Faro is bursting with history and culture. The picturesque coastline makes a delightful drive, with its enchanting stretches of beach, rugged cliffs and charming towns. It’s a great way to combine the colourful cityscape of Portugal’s capital city with the outstanding shores and white-washed architecture of southern Europe.

Sintra – half day

Hire a car in Lisbon and take in the romantic architecture and landscapes of Sintra. A ‘must see’ when visiting Lisbon, you’ll love the contrast presented by this listed UNESCO World Heritage Site destination. With its picturesque palaces and mystical hillsides, this enchanting town effortlessly blends history and fantasy. Home to the Royal Palace, the surrounding hills are surmounted by the remains of the Moorish Castle and by the nineteenth century Pena Palace.

Cascais – half day

Another worthwhile daytrip from Lisbon is Cascais. This charming town is situated next to the Estoril coast, just a 30 minute drive from Lisbon. Once a sleepy fishing village, its trio of golden bays is now a popular retreat for sun worshippers. But this former residence of the royal family also boasts a pedestrianised old town and winding lanes scattered with boutiques, restaurants and small museums.

Estoril – half day

The Estoril Coast extends from the Atlantic Ocean and the Tagus river estuary in the south and west up to the northern boundary of the parish of Cascais. Enhance your Lisbon city break with this unforgettable daytrip. An area of incredible natural beauty, follow the coastline as it starts at Tejo Falls and extends to Carcavelos Beach, with the stunning backdrop of Sintra-Caicais Natural Park. This UNESCO World Heritage Site encompasses a range of landscapes and is well worth a visit.
